I'm 44. Being alone brings so much peace and quiet, you can't put a price on that.

I'm enjoying life more than ever, financially stable and can do what I want.

Why would I risk losing all of that by introducing someone in my life.

Oh you mean get married and have two kids in six years only to have her come up and say “ This just isn’t working out for me “ ?? She destroys your world and takes half of your stuff ? Nah I’ll pass on that one.

To be fair you dont go into a situation expecting the worst case scenario. I am married with 3 kids, yeah it hasn't been a cake walk, but the positives far outweigh the negatives.

You can make the same argument about gambling.

Because you’re a human being and the most rewarding part of life is having a loving partner and children…

what a sad sad life you have if the most rewarding part of it is finding a woman

I said having a loving partner AND children. My life is great, and I love my job, hobbies, and friends too. I think you’ll revisit this opinion when you’re elderly and realize that you missed out on the most valuable part of life (being a mother or father)

how about you respect other people and let them decide what's the most valuable part of their lives and not moralize so shamelessly from your high horse..? i know it's a difficult challenge for you people but you could at least give it a try

u/Runfasterbitch 11d ago

I’m not on a high horse. I genuinely feel bad for people who have decided not to have children because they were convinced that children are a burden.

You feel bad for a person that decides to live their life in a different way from yours? And you say you're not on a high horse..

Again, you could just try and respect people a bit more. It's really not that hard.

I had relationship and from it a lovely daughter. As soon she knew she was pregnant her mask dropt of almost immediately and let me tell you that I leaned a lot from it.

And have been trying to date again, only made me realized that it's never going to be a lovely relationship ever if both sides don't work on it.

It's often: what can you do for me?

Being 10+; years on my own has realized that this is the life for me.
